Process

The process and aim of Watercolour Heart is to turn customer’s photographs into beautiful personalised illustrations that can be used as cards, gifts, home decor and more. The process is made personal and unique for each customer so that each illustration is special and exclusive. Here is a breakdown of the process:

It starts with you- deciding that a personalised illustration would be the perfect way to add creativity to yours or someone you care for’s life

The exciting and sometimes tough part comes in with you choosing which one of your photographs you would like to turn into a work of art, or getting the details you need for a birth announcement print

Then heading over to the shop , where you can browse products by category and fill in your personalised details before you add a product to the cart!

Purchase product and upload your photograph in the checkout.

I put it all together with some rough sketches and then begin to carefully hand-paint each colour element in the wreath

I then use both fine liners and watercolour paint to illustrate the portrait part of the illustration in greyscale

I then scan all your personalised hand-drawn designs and elements into my computer where I digitally refine and resize them for the best printing quality. You will always receive a draft to approve BEFORE you receive your final illustration.

Finally what I think is the most exciting part for you and I is sending off your complete personalised illustration via email so that you can now enjoy your special moment as a beautiful and unique illustration!
